The description mentions that it can dispense small amounts. My cat eats 1 tbsp servings 10 x per day. Can this dispense that small of an amount?

Yes I think it can, I feed my cats small amounts spaced out throughout the day, I would say they both get feed little over a tablespoon and a half each time and it can still go down. The super feeder was originally designed to dispense fish food pellets in ponds! So it can go down pretty far depending on the pellet size and settings you have on it.

Hi, yes. When I first received the feeder and set it up, I tested it with a cup of kibble. At first it was dispensing about a tablespoon and I carefully fiddled with it for about 10 minutes to get the desire 1/4 cup I was looking for. You shouldn't have any problem with a tablespoon, you just have to spend some time re-calibrating it.

I can't answer that for sure but you can contact the company owner at the super feeder website. My guess would be yes as we have it set for a fairly small amount for my cat who throws up due to eating too rapidly. Just got back from a week trip (used cat sitter every other day )with no super feeder malfunctions.

Yes, for 10 times per day as you can set for every hour, But 1 tbsp every time will be hard. I'm afraid it will be more like a Tbls and a 1/2.

We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often. We set the feeder to deliver food once an hour in very small quantities. The timer allows you to dispense food as often as every 15 minutes for the full 24 hr day. We dispensed at 1x per hour. The feeder is also adjustable to allow for different size dry pellets but not sure if a tablespoon quantitiy could be dropped, but we drop very small quantities. If you decide to purchase, I would look at the digital timer instead of the analog mechanical one as that part was the only negative issue we have experienced. The sales folks at Superfeeder were also very helpful so I would contact them too with any questions. We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often.

I haven't tried 1tbs but I think there's enough precision to control how much and how often the cat is fed.

According to the package its says teaspoon daily for cats and 1/4 teaspoon for kittens. I hope this helps Jo-Anne

It's specially formulated for dogs, so I would contact the company to find out if it is okay to give to cats. Possibly in smaller dosage but I'd check.

Unfortunately, you'd have to buy a much pricier food dispenser to have those features!I pour my cat's food in one cup at a time, and once the food canister gets about 1/2 way full, the food quickly comes pouring into the bowl (and usually over the sides of the bowl, too). It's a very useful product for anyone who has pets that don't eat everything in their food bowls in a single sitting. This product is great for my cat since he stops eating when he's full. My dog, on the other hand, will eat every last bit of food he can get his paws on!

I do know about using it in water. I am not sure how you could really measure the amount that your cat would actually get. I put the drops in my cat's wet food. You can put it on dry food, just put a small amount of food, so he will eat all of it. They even say you can sprinkle this around their bedding, I have not done this either.

I do believe you can; I have never given it to a cat but just follow dosage per cat's weight. Your cat weighs more than some dogs. It is a very good product; I recommend it.

i dont really know what the exact measurement amount is, but for my single cat if the feeder is completely full, i dont have to refill it for close to a month and a half. Her amount time limit per day is 45mins and she usually doesnt even use that much time.

I think it would be too small, unless you refill it multiple times a day. I have one that works well for my cats but as a supplemental feeder. The two bowls in my no mess feeder are both small--but if the company sells a larger size, that might work since the system itself is easy to clean and easy to fill.

No I haven't - be careful with syringe-feeding cats as they can aspirate the liquids into their lungs and the particles in this mix are pretty big so it could be very irritating or worse for a cat. Might want to read up on "finger-feeding" aka "force-feeding" (not the preferred term....) for cats - look at Anitra Frasier's book The Natural Cat for the best instructions. Good luck!

I would put in a teaspoon full in 8 oz. It says on the bottle how much to use. I do notice that if I put too much in the cats notice the taste.

I buy "temptations" treats, about 15 into bowl, then put 1 drop on top of each one. My cat loves it. I have another pain medication I do the same way with another 15 treats. You can add 1 tablespoon, twice daily into the drinking water. I see less waste using the dropper.

You have a bit of a problem here. By the way, my finicky cat likes this stuff. This is given by weight of the cat. For my cat's weight around 12lbs. also she get a tsp mix in her soft food. I feed my cats differently for different ailments so I just keep a watch that they don't get into each others bowl. Hope this helps.

The Cat Mate C10 will only dispense once a day, unless you refill and reset it. For four feedings a day, this product will not work. I set mine at night for one early morning feeding and it is great for that.

On the back of the package is the daily intake: 10-12 lbs. is 3/4 tsp for one cat. However, for 2 cats sharing the same bowl, I would contact my vet.

It all depends on how much you feed at each feeding. I only feed my cat twice a day with dry food and its only a 1/4 cup, she also gets canned foos once a day and she is fine and the food in the feeder last a month and a 1/2. Hope this helps I think its a great feeder!!!!!

My cat eats this mixed in with a small amount of his wet cat food. Since I have several cats, I put this food in a separate area for him so he will get it. He seems to like the taste okay, or doesn't notice a difference. I doubt that this would work on dry food. This same company markets a Lysine cat treat that has very tiny round pebbles. All my cats absolutely love those, and I would recommend them over putting powder on dry food. There is also a product from this company of Lysine cat treats that are larger ... sort of shaped like a fish, and they do not like those. They love the ones that have very tiny round pebbles of Lysine treats. They are a little chewy. My cat eats this mixed in with a small amount of his wet cat food.

I think it can go really small. We have ours set to dispense about 20 pieces at each feeding. (Our kitty is on a diet.) When calibrating it, I could have set it even lower.
